Hey, welcome to Parent Fusters, a fun podcast where parents and kids can learn together. I'm Jackie and I'm here with my daughter, ella, who's not going to say anything. This podcast, hello, wait what? You were supposed to just leave it blank there when I said oh, okay, hold on, let's try again. Let's try again. No, we're past it now. Okay, are we in the joke? Yes, you did. Okay.
Speaker 1:Hey, today we're going to do something really fun. Yes, because, like a I don't know a month ago, for some weird reason, we started talking about if you could lick your elbow as one does at 3am. Right, we talk about I don't know why we started talking about it, and then there's a really funny name for the skin on your elbow, which I'm not going to say. You're going to a slang name that you're going to have to Google if you want. I'm not going to say Anyway. So we started talking about how much fun it would be to bust, bust some of those weird body challenge myths. Yes, can you look your elbow? Can you touch your tongue to your nose? If you cross your eyes, will they stay that way? That's what my mom told me. Really, yes, how do you think this whole thing came about. It was when I was telling you all the things that were Every or like your whole personality. I don't think we have time for that. It was how this podcast came about. It was when I was telling you all the weird things that my mom used to tell me and the daddy was telling you all the weird things that they used to say when he was growing up and you were like yes. You were like, hey, we should do, that would be a funny podcast. That was almost two years ago, by the way, I know that's well. We came up with the idea during the pandemic and then we sat on it for a year because that's us, yep. And then, yeah, we are one. We started, I think, in April. Then we had our anniversary this year. Yeah, so we are April and May June. We are like one and a half, almost a year and a half, into this podcast. Yes, that's crazy. How do you think it's going? I think it's going pretty good. I think that's not a doubtful. No, I just have. I don't ask you. That's true, okay, so, anyway, we thought we would do some weird tangents why, I know how? When we thought we would do weird body challenge myths.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we always start out with two truths and a lie, which is pretty self-explanatory If you know the game. But just in case you don't, we tell you three facts, quote unquote. Two are true and one is a lie. Why did you say quote unquote, like they aren't really facts? Well, one of them is a lie, so they're not all facts. Oh, got you, okay? So throughout the episode, you're going to have to decipher which ones are real and which ones are fake, and one which one is fake. And if you don't want to do that, you can just listen to the end and we'll tell you. Right, we give you the answers at the end, exactly Okay.
Speaker 1:So two truths and a lie. You ready? Yes, here we go. Please hold for a very important message. Number one there is a small chance your eyes could bulge out while sneezing. Oh, ew, gross, okay. Number two one in four people can lick their elbow, really Okay. Number three there is a medical term for touching your tongue to your nose, what I know what. Okay, I feel like any one of those could be a lie or truth. Right, science is crazy man.
Speaker 1:Okay, the first thing let's start with can you lick your elbow? First of all, can you lick your elbow, you, ella? Okay, hold on. Okay, let's see. The answer is no, I am not that flexible. No, I can't lick my elbow either.
Speaker 1:I don't even know how you would go about this. How do you go about this? So, try right now, wherever you are. If you're driving, don't try, try it later. But in the middle of, like a basketball game, don't try it. Do it Now, just stop. Just stop, listen into this. In the middle of a basketball game. But we have the basketball. Did you know we have a basketball episode?
Speaker 1:Anyway, did you know that most people can't actually look their elbow? Yeah, because your arms aren't. Well, there are a couple of reasons. One, why would you want to achieve this? One, your arms aren't designed to bend in that direction. And number two, most people's tongues aren't that long. Yeah, I feel like I have a weird long tongue.
Speaker 1:Ok, stick your tongue out and let me. Yeah, you have a short tongue. Really, look at where my tongue goes on my chin. Oh, that was a noise. Oh, it caught the noise. Well, it is a radio show. What is it? It wasn't like that, but it was like the guy from Kiss. So, even though I have a oddly long tongue.
Speaker 1:I still can't lick my elbow. Um, your elbow joint. Yeah, this is already getting great stars. This is weird already, isn't it? Yeah, your elbow joint can only bend so much and your tongue can't stretch that far. Yeah, well, for most people, wait, what? So? Um, what? There are people that can lick their elbow and I think what? Yeah, I'll try to remember to put the link in our episode page. Over on ParamBusterscom, you can see some videos.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, so when you're trying to lick your elbow, you're actually trying to make your tongue reach a spot that's kind of almost like it's behind you. You know what I mean? Yeah, you can't really bring your elbow in front. No, they're just. Our tongues aren't that stretchy? No, they're attached to the front of our mouth, our elbows attached to the back of our arm.
Speaker 1:Um, one person? Ok, hold on, I have to take a picture of Ella trying, because this has to be memorial. A lot of immortalized. It's not memorialized. Oh no, um, that exists, it does. Uh, so guess what, though? One person in every 100 people.
Speaker 1:It is estimated that one person in every 100 people can lick their elbows. Oh, so, according to research conducted by scientists at MIT in 2003, about 10% of people can lick their elbows, oh, oh, but the problem with that number is that it might not be completely accurate, because they haven't developed a scientific method to measure how people what Lick their elbows, so there's no specific scientific method. So, ok, so that that number might be a little off, but they estimate that about one in 100 people can do it. One of the things that they found, though, is, if you have a shorter upper arm than normal and a longer than normal tongue, you can do it. People can do it.
Speaker 1:Huh, I need to see if my friends can. So ask your friends, yes, and then take videos, because that's, because it's funny, the hey, I thought I'd tell you some Guinness records relating to tongues and licking elbows. Oh no. So, in case you didn't know, the Guinness Book of World Records used to be a book. We used to buy them when I was a kid. I've seen them, and it just lists out all of these weird things that people do that hold records, yeah, like biggest baked potato, oldest cat, yeah, longest tongue, so those kind of things.
Speaker 1:So this the longest tongue measures the longest baked potato 3.97 inches. I'm kind of hungry, that's why that one came up. The longest tongue measures 3.97 inches, which is 10.1 centimeters From wait, is that right? I feel like that math isn't right. Anyway, 3.97 inches, from Converts to some amount of centimeters, it's tip to the middle of the closed top lip. Oh, so imagine four inches. I feel like I could. Ok, let's get the hold on. Oh, no, hold on, hold on. Ok, just to note, this is going to include the inside of the mouth. Ok, here's four inches. I want to see how much longer. So this guy's tongue is this long? So it's two inches below your chin. Oh, my goodness, oh, my God. Okay, that's about two inches, maybe. Let me see we're measuring my tongue.
Speaker 1:I know this makes her riveting podcast, I'm sure I think. Maybe two and a half inches. Okay, so I'm half of what the world record holder. That's terrifying. So come on and tell me on social media what your tongue measures. No, I think it's fascinating Moving on. Is it getting weird? So anyway, nick Stoeberl from the USA, on November 2012 in California, has the world record for the longest tongue, which is 3.97 inches. If your tongue is longer than that, you have a chance to get a world record. The longest female tongue is 3.8 inches from the tip to the middle of the lip and was achieved by another person from the United States. What's going on here? Another person from California and September of 2012. What's going on with California?
Speaker 1:According to a video on recordsettercom, isaac T licked his elbows 58 times in 30 seconds, and it shows the video. So what he did, so what I noticed, what most people can lick their elbows. They put them on a table and then they put their mouth down. This is really a visual podcast today. Oh, and then they put their mouth down, so they lean down, and then they lick back and forth. Oh, okay, do that again. No, thank you, I love me, let me have this. No, so, 58 times in 30 seconds.
Speaker 1:There was a woman online who, okay, prepare yourselves, you might want to sit down. If you're not, is it going to get worse? There was a woman online who could not only lick her elbow, but she could also lick her eye. There are pictures. Her abnormally long tongue is four inches. I just imagine like cows that come out and like the flies. That's immediately what came to mind. That is immediately what came to mind. You know, the big old tongue comes out and they're like yeah, okay, if you're still here, there is a wiki how on how to lick your elbow and there are some really funny directions. Let's talk about that. Yeah, cause, guess what the directions are? Oh boy, stretch, take deep breaths. That's all I wrote down what. But there were really funny, the pictures were really funny.
Speaker 1:If you don't know wiki, how is like a weird. It's a weird wiki where people write instructions on how to do things, everything like mundane things, hard things. They actually illustrated how to lick your elbow and, fun fact, this isn't my fun fact notes, so I do these relatively late at night when I research I function the best and so sometimes I write funny things for myself. I have this note. Fun fact, there's a wiki how article on how to lick your own elbow and I am scared for the world, for cool, on a magnet coming to you.
Speaker 1:Did you know that the skin on your elbow has no nerves? Really, pinch it hard, it doesn't hurt. Like if you would pinch yourself it, it doesn't. And now pinch yourself on top of your arm, oh, and it hurts. You're welcome parents. Ouch, wait, this is just a great episode. I Love this up, but I like, I like the weird Medical stuff, so I can't help it. Look, sometimes I get my niches. Sometimes you get your knees. Listen, I will never get over seeing that chick lick her eyeball. Okay, I Won't get over it, cuz I don't want to see you speaking of eyeballs, can you?
Speaker 1:Is it Physically possible to sneeze with your eyes open? So that's another myth, that you can't sneeze with your eyes open. And you actually can sneeze with your eyes open, but but it's super hard. It is hard because it's a common reflex to close your eyes. Yes, so you have to, like, consciously work against that reflex. Yeah, if you want to sneeze with your eyes.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, when we sneeze, our body goes Into an unconscious. Well, no, it's like this autopilot, it's an involuntary reflex means Involuntary reflexes are the ones that we don't have to think about, so they're like our heart beats. And then voluntary reflexes Are the ones we think about. So, like involuntary reflexes, you don't go like beat, beat, beat for your heart. You don't think about it, it just happens. Yeah, that's what happens with sneezing. Yeah, your body goes into autopilot and it's like shut the eyes, shut the eyes.
Speaker 1:So if you really think about it, you could sneeze with your eyes open. But why would you want to? Why would you want to? And also, why does your body do this? Why do you close your eyes? Go for it, okay.
Speaker 1:Well, it's not like what some people say. It is not because your eyes will fly out of your head. No, which is a part of the can you sneeze with your eyes open myth. Don't sneeze with your eyes open or your eyes will fly out of your head. I just thought of something else, too, that I should have hit here. Oh, um, it is not because your eyes will fly out of your head, but we don't know exactly why. However, it is speculated that we close our eyes to keep all the junk that comes out of our nose and mouth when we sneeze out of our eyes.
Speaker 1:But I want to note, if you did close your eyes Just solely to keep them from popping out. Here's why that would make sense. One, the passages Um, like the nasal passages involved in sneezing. Don't connect your eyes to the muscles surrounding your eyes. Hold them really firmly in place. And three, if Both of those weren't true, closing your eyes would not do that much, because your eyelids would not keep your eyes from popping out. No, there was no. If they're gonna pop out, they were gonna pop out, yes, so you're not going to Pop your eyes out of their sockets, but if you sneeze with your eyeballs open, why do we think?
Speaker 1:I don't even know why that's a myth. I do, oh, so where did it come from? I have the answer. Oh, it is okay. I have something else to say after this. Oh, okay, it is said that it originated from an article in 1882. Oh, about a woman who Supposedly, when riding a streetcar, sneeze so hard that one of her eyeballs exploded. Oh, okay, well, I do have to tell you this.
Speaker 1:Oh, there is technically a Negligible and that means, like tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, small amount, a new chance, chance that you Could experience something called globe Subluxation. Oh, if you sneeze with your eyeballs open, and it means that your eyeballs temporarily protrude forward like more than they should, so it's kind of think about it like an eyeball dislocation. It's incredibly rare, however, so you're good, you're probably not going to have a global Subluxation which is protruding your eyes out when you sneeze. People can do that to their eyeballs. If you look online, there are people who can make their do this globe I've seen that before by protruding their eyes out. It's bizarre, so well that what is it Subluxation? Globe subluxation Can happen. It's pretty rare and there have been reported cases of people maybe straining or hurt their eyes when blowing their noses Because of the pressure. Yes, your eyes aren't going to explode or an all likelihood pop out of your head. No, they're definitely not gonna do that. No, um, this is the other thing I said I wanted to add here.
Speaker 1:One of the things that my mom used to say is that if you held your sneeze in, it would blow out your eardrums like rupture your ear. Oh, I think I've heard that and that is actually true. You told me this because it's not true with your eyes, like Ella said, because your nasal passages are not connected to your eyes. However, your nasal passages are connected to your ear canals and your well, they're. All that respiratory area is connected. Yeah, so that's why when you have a sore ear, your throat hurts.
Speaker 1:Yes, if you hold your sneeze in, that pressure from your respiratory system can actually might travel to your ears and If you have a really strong sneeze that you held in, that pressure could potentially rupture your ear drum. Oh, that's why you shouldn't hold your sneezes in, but you shouldn't just let them fly out in the air uncovered either. No, please, because they can go really far with yes and, fun fact, when you sneeze, the air actually actually exits your nose at a hundred miles per hour. So which is the speed of some race cars? Well, so like I have a statistics that says According to the National Institutes of Health, you're just a regular, typical sneeze.
Speaker 1:It can resemble a turbulent Jet engine and it can travel. It travels as fast as 25 feet every 22 seconds, oh, wow. And just to give you a visual, 25 feet is for refrigerator stacked on top of each other, or about two and a half basketball hoop stacked on top, oh, wow. So that's a long way. The highest speed at which they call them quote-unquote expelled particles, we'll just call it snot. Snot has been measured to travel for a sneeze is 103.6 miles per hour. Hey, I have a go ahead. Cover your mouth, yeah, and your nose, because there's a lot of gunk exiting your nose at a very high velocity and your mouth and your mouth the highest. Oh, I gave you that the record. This is a funny, oh no Record to hold.
Speaker 1:Donna Griffiths from the United Kingdom sneezed uncontrollably for 976 days. That's three years. Oh, no, I mean when you just be like, how am I still sneezing? Isn't that just you? It is, but I've explained this. When I answered, I forgot who emailed us and asked why it always sounds like I'm congested, because she is constantly. It's because I think I've developed an allergy to our cats.
Speaker 1:So, speaking of podcast number one, one One's to sneeze. No, no, it does not want to sneeze. He is here, he's supervising. I don't think he approves, but he's here. Well, he doesn't approve of anything we do. He doesn't, hey.
Speaker 1:So we talked about can you look your elbow? We talked about one in 100 people, can. We talked about if you can really hold your. You keep your eyes open while sneezing. Slash, if you sneeze, will your eyeballs explode? When you have yes and no, the answers are yes, yes, you can, if you think about it, or if you hold, I'm gonna sneeze like this next time, oh gosh. And no, your eyeballs won't explode. Why does it feel so good when you sneeze? Release of pressure. You know what I mean, though, like you were talking about this earlier, how painful it is when you don't sneeze, when you're getting ready to sneeze and you can't, and you don't for whatever reason.
Speaker 1:Why do we stop sneezing? I've felt a whole episode on sneezing coming. Oh no, why do we stop sneezing when someone says don't sneeze, huh, it's sniffle, it stifles your sneeze. Maybe Are we pouring you here. No, sorry, I'm tired today. It's really warm in this room today too, so it's comfy and I'm just like I'm ready to nap, okay, so I mean, we aren't talking about birds, so I can understand why you're not interested. I yawned while recording birds too. I don't think so. I did, I did. I just leaned away from the mic. I didn't realize that you would. Okay, so anyway. So we've talked about those. Let's talk about Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Speaker 1:I feel like we kind of busted this already. Well, have we? I don't know? So there, did you know that there is a medical term that indicates, for real, there is a medical term that indicates the ability to touch the tip of the nose or your chin with your tongue, which I think I can. It's called the Gorlin sign. The Gorlin sign is the medical term. If you can touch the tip of your nose or your chin. Okay, let me try again. Okay, just your tiny bit short. I'm gonna give it to myself. I am like. I am like just about there. I'm like a centimeter above. What about nose?
Speaker 1:Approximately 10% of the general population can perform this act. Really, let me see, try it. You have to try it. Stick it out. Really, dude, you don't even get like halfway down. Do you even have a tongue? Do you even have a tongue? 50% of people of wait there are. There is this connective tissue disorder called the Ellers Danlos Syndrome. Oh, 50% of the people who have this syndrome can touch their nose with their tongue. That's really hard. I think that's just as hard as trying to touch your elbow. I feel like this whole episode is going to be me moving away from the mic. That's because Ellis sits off to my side and I just keep looking at her to watch her try these things.
Speaker 1:The average tongue length for women would you care to guess, in inches? There's an average tongue length for women? Yes, two and a half inches, 3.11 inches for women and 3.34 inches for men. The longest duration recorded. Are you ready? Oh, no, of touching the nose with your tongue? Uh, oh Is 50 minutes and 51 seconds. Oh, your mouth gets so dry Achieved by Alex Walden's, waddleton of Australia, on May 30th 2022. Oh, 50, almost once. Oh, this is recent, almost one hour. Alex just held his tongue to his nose, right to the tip of the nose.
Speaker 1:I feel like it feels like you would get like you know how you get a Charlie horse in your leg. Oh, it doesn't feel like you would get like a cramp. Oh, that's not even a thought I want to think about. Oh, that's awful, oh, weird. Okay, if you don't know, a Charlie horse is a really, really, really bad cramp in like your calf. Oh, that's a thought.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, the anteater's tongue. This is a little fun fact for you. So anteater's burrow into the ground for ants and bugs? Yeah, and they have a long, like thin snoot, right? Yes, an anteater's tongue. Would you care to guess how long it is? The fun to half, it is two feet, what? So? Imagine two rulers laid side by side. Oh, that is the tongue of the anteater. Oh, wow. And then here's another fun fact. I don't even think their bodies are that long. Here's another fun fact for you. Yeah, it makes me wonder if they roll up like the woodpecker tongue that rolls up around their cranium. Yeah, here's another fun fact for you 60 to 80% of people can roll their tongue.
Speaker 1:Can you Yep, yep, and guess what? What? Only one and a half to 3% of people can fold their tongue, which is your dad can fold it. His tongue in three. Wait, really, yes, ask him later. Like long ways or short ways. He sticks his tongue out and then there's a space here. Okay, let's call him in here. Hold on, we'll be right back. Hi, say hello, Hello, okay. So we're talking about people being able to roll their tongue. So 60, 80% of people can roll their tongue. You don't do that very well, I know, but this is something I think you'll find interesting.
Speaker 1:One and a half to 3% of people can fold their tongue, and your daughter did not know that you could fold your tongue. Oh, my goodness, I haven't done that in a long time. So, ella, how would you describe that? So do it again so she can look at it and describe it. So he sticks his tongue out. No, I know, I, and it's like accordion paper on it. Yeah, just three sections. That's bizarre. Okay, all right, now we have to take a picture. Yeah, oh, great, you're all right. Look, she got a good embarrassing picture of me earlier, so it's fine. Okay, all right. Yeah, it's hard to see, but yeah, it's like an accordion.
Speaker 1:But three sections, yep, when did you fit find that you could do this? Yeah, this beat of amazingness, this beat of incredible, like, do you remember doing that as a kid? High school band Really Probably high school and band, sure, I'll go with that. Oh, no, okay, this sounds like something. Okay, thank you for appearing on our podcast. Thank you, you will need to sign a release and you will not get paid. No, okay, good afternoon, thank you.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that's the only way I know how to describe that is. It's like he sticks his tongue out, like you would normally stick your tongue out, but then he can fold his tongue as it's sticking out and you're looking at it straight on. He can fold it into three sections. No, you're not, you're just sticking your tongue out. I just rolled the tongue, yeah, but he couldn't roll his tongue very well, which is interesting. That is strange. Anyway, so that's a genetic thing. I forgot to look it up. I know that I've heard before that rolling your tongue comes from your mother's side of genetics. I do not know if that's a myth. I forgot to bust it, so I will look it up. How dare you? That's a brand I know. I will look it up and I will put it in our episode notes.
Speaker 1:Yes, this is one that my mom used to say to me and we're going to bust this, and I've heard this a lot If you cross your eyes, they will stay that way. And okay, let's talk about that. Will they I don't know Tell me they won't? They won't stay that way, thank goodness, because my brother and I used to do it to each other all the time and that's why my mom used to say it Y'all stop, or your eyes are going to stay that way. That's what maya ma sounds like it is. It's perfect.
Speaker 1:So crossing your eyes for an extended amount of time can get them strained or tired, but it won't do anything to your vision, or they won't stay that way. No, it's not going to cause permanent damage to your eyes and they're going to return to their normal placement. By the way, yeah, and actually we naturally cross our eyes when we look at something closely to get to better focus on it. I just think of our dogs. Oh, my goodness, they feed them something like from your fingers. They have the funniest crossed eyes. Yes, it is. It's hysterical, amazing. I'll see if I can find a picture. It looks like a cartoon. Yeah, I'll see if I can find a picture. So, since crossing your eyes is natural. The quote on quote crossing your eyes is just an exaggeration of that.
Speaker 1:However, there actually are some medical conditions that cause you to have permanently crossed eyes, and this should business. Also known as crossed eyes, misaligned eyes or misaligned, is a condition that causes the person to occasionally or consistently have misaligned eyes. Three to percent, five percent of the population has that. Wow, and some babies actually have something called pseudos. Yeah, pseudo strud business. Yes, so I'm a cartoon twister. I thought we were getting away from the tongues. We can never escape Pseudo strud business.
Speaker 1:Looks like they have crossed eyes, but the eye crossing is actually an optical illusion caused by the how big their noses are Really Little guys. So you have a wider nose bridge and it didn't explain why. But I have my theory on how it works. Okay, here it is. When you have, you know, those like props prop eyes where you move and they follow you. Yes, it's just a like cone that goes in. I hope that makes sense If you have two of them.
Speaker 1:It's like if you put an object in front of them and you have two, that would be pointing downwards. It would be like it's staring at that thing. I'm trying to think of how to explain it. It's like their eyes are so big and the nose is kind of blocking out that part, so it causes them to look like they're crossed Right but they're not. I hope that makes sense. It made more sense in my head. So the muscles in your eyes can get tired if you cross them for an extended period of time, but they're not going to stay that way. My mom also used to say to me that if you continue to make that face it's going to freeze that way. I did hear that. I've heard that a lot.
Speaker 1:So people have strabismus, which is just that, misaligned, crossing eyes. If they turn inward, there's a specific name for that, really. So if the eyes turn inward crossing, it's called esotropia, esotropia. If they turn outward, it's called exotropia. Or if they're vertically misaligned, so up and down a little, it's hypertropia. Strabismus, or the one that we commonly think of as eye crossing, is the most common eye problems in children. It affects four around four percent of kids under age six.
Speaker 1:Wow, and another thing I found fascinating is you've probably, when you think of crossed eyes, like medically crossed eyes. You might have heard the term lazy eye and you might think that refers to all like cross like medically crossed eyes. However, it's not. It's actually a very specific type of misaligned eyes. The lazy eye actually exclusively refers to a neurological condition called amblyopia, so I thought I would add that in. Thank you, yeah, okay, so do we have.
Speaker 1:Do you have any fun facts? Nope, I didn't want to be fun today. I thought the whole thing was fun. I don't need to end it out with any fun facts. I think I added all of my fun facts into the thing. That's what I did to the thing. Um, yeah, so today we want you to perform some science projects, some highly scientific, that's right.
